I detest tomatos yet love tomato made products...

20 Comments

For as long as I could remember I've always hated the taste of raw tomatos. I just can never get myself to like them, whenever I'm giving a burger,sandwich, salad etc if there are tomatos in them I will hunt and pick out each and every single piece and either give them to someone else or throw them out.

Here's the kicker even though I hate tomatos I love things made from tomatos for example ketchup, salsa, pizza sauce, spaghetti sauce etc. My mother and aunt both think I'm weird they keep saying "You don't like tomatos yet you like ketchup." My response is that ketchup and other tomato based products don't retain the taste of raw tomatos that I find so disgusting.

But I really wonder is it normal from me to dislike tomatos so much but love tomato based products?

    OMG me too! I hate tomatoes. When I get a salad at McDonal's I give my dad my tomatoes. I can eat ketchup on anything. Ketchup.... YUMMY! I heart pizza sauce and all the other yummy products. My mom is different. She hates tomatoes. She hates pizza. She hates ketchup. Well, the only time she eats ketchup is when she puts it on fries. I don't know why my mom hates that kind of stuff. I hate tomatoes, though.

    I'm like that with cheese. I hate cheese with a passion unless it's on pizza or melted on toast.

    I'm the same way. I hate raw tomatoes, but love tomato soup, pasta sauce, pizza sauce. I also hate egg salad and boiled eggs, but I like quiche and omelette and poached eggs.

    haha finally some fellow raw tomato haters. i think raw tomatoes resemble squishy bugs when you bite into them.

    Thats exactly what I'm like!

    I despise the taste of raw tomato but I like pretty much every other sort of tomato product like ketchup etc.

    It's like how some people hate scrambled eggs but will eat a poached egg, just a matter of personal taste.

    I sorta feel the same way, as I have gotten older I will now eat grape tomatoes, they don't taste like the ones on sandwiches or burgers, ohh and I love them in tabuli a middleastern salad, I think it's all about preference when it comes to tomatoes..
